Arbuckle
Letter to William Clark,
Fort Gibson, July 3, 1827
National Archives, RG 75.
Osage Agency.
Head Quarters 7^ Inf
Fort Gibson
Sir: 3d July 1827.
You are no doubt apprised that a party of the Choctaws,
Cherokees, Kickapoos, Delawares, Shaonees & others have removed themselves from their nations, k settled on the Red
River. These bands continue at war with the Osages, & render the peace between these nations & the Osa.ees very precarious.— I have been making efforts to produce a peace
between them *c the Osages; & nothing I believe would more
contribute to this object, than to cause them to have a
meeting at Fort Towson, with as little delay as possible. —
Capt Prior, who is here, if properly authorized by the Government, would be of great service in accomplishing this desirable object; &. would, if permanently located with Danvers
Band of the Osages (as an Agent of the Government.) have it
in his power to do as much, or more good, than any one with
whom I am acquainted.
I am Sir,
Very Respectfully,
Your Obed: Servt:
